From Bergen city center, drive over the Puddefjord Bridge towards Sotra. Drive through the Harafjell and Kiple tunnels and the first sign on the right is 'Alvøen'. Keep right around the bend down the hill. At the bottom of the hill, drive right at the sign 'Alvøen'. Drive approx. 600 meters to the large hiking parking lot on the left.

Parking

Free tourist parking along Alvøveien with space for many cars.

Description

There are many hiking opportunities in Alvøskogen. There are paths crisscrossing the area and there is also a lighted trail. We chose to walk around Småvatnet.  

Fra parkeringen følger du Alvøveien nordover og deretter til høyre inn til idrettsanlegget. Følg asfaltert vei langs fotballbanene og deretter videre på grusvei. I bunnen av bakken er det beite med sauer, benker og en flott skulptur. Følg grusveien rundt svingen gå til høyre skiltet 'Gullaksdalen'. Viderer følger du grusveien ned til vannet hvor det er en hytte. Herfra går du videre på sti skiltet 'Vassenden'.   Stien leder opp til demningen ved Storevatnet. Følg stien på høyre side av vannet over broen.

The path then goes through the forest and onto a gravel road. Follow the gravel road down to Småvatnet and continue on the right. The road leads you down to the main road. Walk along the main road back to the parking lot. Towards the end, it is recommended to take a detour over the dam in Alvøen.

Have a good trip!
